What is the duty cycle of such a radar?

Hmm....It was an airsearch, so had quite a rapid rep rate and narrow pulse
width for good multiplane detection. I don't remember the
specifications...but it would have been quite low. I remember it was in S-
band. Power came from an Amplitron fed by a Magnetron with Thyratron
pulser. The pulse forming network was a cabinet to itself. It was quite
loud in the radar room.
